Golden Oldies: Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish, founders of The Rascals, bring their music to the State Theatre New Jersey on April 8.

State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick presents The Rascals, with founders Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish, on Saturday, April 8 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $29-$99.

As Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, Grammy Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and Songwriter Hall of Fame members, The Rascals have 17 Top 20 hits, seven Top 10 hits, and three No.1 hits that include “Groovin’,” “People Got To Be Free,” and “Good Lovin’.”

“We’re so grateful for the fans, this is for them,” said Cavaliere. Cornish, whose autobiography Good Lovin’: My Life as a Rascal came out in 2020, is especially grateful to return to the stage. While on tour with Cavaliere in 2018, Cornish collapsed while performing the opening sequence to “A Beautiful Morning.” Cornish received a pacemaker and is ready to perform. “This gives us another chance to play together and do it for the fans,” said Gene Cornish.

The State Theatre is at 15 Livingston Avenue. Visit STNJ.org for tickets.
